Answer:
- 4 times
Explanation:
Since the equation for the illumination of an object, i.e. the brightness of the light, is <em>inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source</em>, the form of the function is:
- f(x) = k.x⁻²
Where x is the distance between the object and the light force, k is the constant of proportionality, and f(x) is the brightness.
Then, if you move halfway to the lamp the new distance is x/2 and the new brightness (call if F) is :
Then, you have found that the light is 4 times as bright as it originally was.
